Latitude

Food is integral to the way we live, with far-reaching effects on the environment, personal health and enjoyment. Latitude is conducting a 42 study to understand how new connectivity—improved accessibility, transparency, and organization of information—alters our desires and decisions around food and food-purchasing.

Connect with us on Twitter or Facebook to hear when we’ve reached our goal and to receive informational study updates.

The Hunger Project (THP) is a global, non-profit, strategic organization committed to the sustainable end of world hunger.

They work in 13 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America to develop effective bottom-up strategies to end hunger and poverty—by empowering people to lead lives of self-reliance, to meet their own basic needs, and to build better futures for their children.

Some of THP’s initiatives include the creation of economically and environmentally sustainable community centers for meeting basic needs in rural villages—and micro-financing loans to women food farmers in Africa, whilst providing these women with training, support, and economic education to help them increase their incomes and better provide for their families.
